Hi! I wanted to share a "thank you" card that I made for our neighbors who shared with us some of a wonderfully sweet watermelon they had purchased. I thought it fitting to use this watermelon digi from Whimsie Doodles for their card. The other stamp is from the $1 bin at Michaels.

Our scripture for this week is Galatians 6:9 "So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up." Love that verse! It says to me, "if you work hard and not get bored or tired of doing what is good and pleasing to the Lord and don't give up cause no one is responding, KEEP DOING IT and you will be blessed when God says time time is right (harvest)"
